Although Sony has already confirmed that the PlayStation 5 will be released during the last quarter of 2020, in recent weeks they have started to emerge doubts about that promise. There are several factors that have generated uncertainty, such as the fact that Microsoft, its main competitor in the video game industry, has been more transparent with the information from the Xbox Series X.
Furthermore, the coronavirus outbreak and its expansion in China has slowed the production of devices from many technology giants, so there are fears that this could affect the launch of the new consoles. The other has to do with the recent report by Bloomberg
Of course, this news has begun to cause concern among investors of the Japanese entity. Some of them started asking for explanations, and fortunately Sony was prepared for the questions. Hiroki Totoki, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sony, hinted
The manager said that currently "it is very difficult" to discuss any issue related to the presentation and launch date. However, he reassured investors, noting that the timeline of your new hardware is very similar to that of previous consoles
Is your posture enough to calm the waters? It seems so, but we don't know for how long. Obviously, the "concern" of consumers does not compare with that experienced by investors. It seems that Sony has the situation under control and it is a matter of weeks to know new information from the console. According to recent reports, the company will wait for Microsoft to reveal the price of the Xbox Series X before it can define the price of the PlayStation 5.
